It successfully handles complex nested forms, but suffers from inconsistent design patterns, limited accessibility compliance, and absence of a cohesive design system. The UI prioritizes functionality over user experience, which is understandable for a scientific tool but leaves significant room for improvement. + +**Strengths:** + +- Clean, minimal aesthetic appropriate for scientific users +- Logical information architecture with sidebar navigation +- Effective use of collapsible sections (details/summary) +- Responsive layout considerations + +**Critical Issues:** + +- No defined design system (colors, spacing, typography) +- Poor color contrast ratios (WCAG failures) +- Inconsistent spacing and layout patterns +- Limited visual feedback for user actions +- Accessibility violations throughout + +**Impact on Users:** + +- Neuroscientists spending 30+ minutes on forms experience visual fatigue +- Unclear hierarchy makes scanning difficult +- Errors are hard to notice and understand +- No clear indication of progress or completion + +**CRITICAL WORKFLOW GAP:** + +- Scientists must create **separate YAML files for each day of recording** +- A single experiment may span **dozens or hundreds of recording days** +- Current UI provides **NO batch workflow support**: + - No templates or duplication from previous days + - No "save as template" functionality + - No bulk editing across multiple days + - Must re-enter repetitive metadata (subject, electrode groups, devices) for each day + - Extremely time-consuming and error-prone for longitudinal studies + +--- + +## Visual Hierarchy Issues + +### Problems Identified + +#### 1. Weak Typography Hierarchy (CRITICAL) + +**Issue:** No established type scale or hierarchy system. + +**Current State:** + +```scss +// No defined font scale +body { font-family: sans-serif; } // Default system fonts +.header-text { text-align: center; margin-top: 0; } // No size defined +.page-container__nav ul { font-size: 0.88rem; } // Magic number +.footer { font-size: 0.8rem; } // Another magic number +.sample-link { font-size: 0.8rem; } // Duplicate value +``` + +**Problems:** + +- No consistent scale (0.88rem, 0.8rem, 1rem - arbitrary) +- No defined hierarchy levels (h1, h2, h3 relationships) +- All headings likely render at browser defaults +- Body text has no defined size or line-height +- No distinction between labels, inputs, and descriptions + +**Expected Hierarchy:** + +``` +Page Title: 2rem (32px) - Bold +Section Headings: 1.5rem (24px) - Bold +Subsection Headings: 1.25rem (20px) - Semibold +Body Text: 1rem (16px) - Regular +Small Text: 0.875rem (14px) - Regular +Micro Text: 0.75rem (12px) - Regular +``` + +**Impact:** Users cannot quickly scan and identify important sections. Everything blends together, increasing cognitive load during long form sessions. + +#### 2. Form Label Hierarchy Unclear (HIGH) + +**Current Pattern:** + +```scss +.item1 { + flex: 0 0 30%; + text-align: right; + font-weight: bold; // Only hierarchy indicator +} +``` + +**Problems:** + +- Labels are bold, but so are section headings (summary elements) +- No visual distinction between required and optional fields +- No grouping indicators for related fields +- Info icons are tiny (2xs size) and easy to miss + +**Better Pattern:** + +```scss +.form-label { + font-size: 0.875rem; + font-weight: 600; + color: #1a1a1a; + margin-bottom: 0.25rem; + + &--required::after { + content: " *"; + color: #dc3545; + } + + &--optional { + font-weight: 400; + color: #666; + } +} + +.form-label__info { + font-size: 0.75rem; + color: #666; + font-weight: 400; + display: block; + margin-top: 0.125rem; +} +``` + +#### 3.

Color Contrast Failures (CRITICAL) + +**Tested Combinations:** + +| Element | Foreground | Background | Contrast | WCAG AA | Status | +|---------|-----------|------------|----------|---------|---------| +| Navigation links | `#000000` | `#ffffff` | 21:1 | 4.5:1 | ✅ Pass | +| Active nav link | `#000000` | `darkgray (#a9a9a9)` | 5.7:1 | 4.5:1 | ✅ Pass | +| Primary button | `#ffffff` | `blue (#0000ff)` | 8.6:1 | 4.5:1 | ✅ Pass | +| Danger button | `#ffffff` | `red (#ff0000)` | 3.99:1 | 4.5:1 | ❌ **FAIL** | +| Info icon | `inherit` | N/A | Unknown | 3:1 | ⚠️ Untestable | +| Gray-out inputs | `#000000` | `lightgray (#d3d3d3)` | 11.6:1 | 4.5:1 | ✅ Pass | +| Placeholder text | Default gray | `#ffffff` | ~4.5:1 | 4.5:1 | ⚠️ Borderline | + +**Critical Failures:** + +1. **Reset Button (Red Background)** + - Contrast: 3.99:1 (needs 4.5:1) + - Fix: Use `#dc3545` instead of `red` + +2. **Info Icons** + - Size: 2xs (likely 10-12px) + - WCAG requires 24x24px minimum for non-text content + - Fix: Increase to at least 16px + +**Color Contrast Recommendations:** + +```scss +// Accessible color palette +$color-danger-accessible: #dc3545; // 4.54:1 on white +$color-success-accessible: #198754; // 4.55:1 on white +$color-warning-accessible: #cc8800; // 4.52:1 on white +$color-info-accessible: #0c7c8c; // 4.51:1 on white +``` + +#### 2. Focus Indicators Missing (CRITICAL) + +**Problem:** No visible focus indicators for keyboard navigation. + +**Current:** + +```scss +// No focus styles defined anywhere +// Browser defaults are suppressed by some resets +``` + +**WCAG Requirement:** Focus indicators must: + +- Be visible (2px minimum) +- Have 3:1 contrast against background +- Surround the focused element + +**Required Fix:** + +```scss +// Global focus indicator +*:focus { + outline: 2px solid $color-primary; + outline-offset: 2px; +} + +// Better focus indicators for inputs +.form-input:focus { + outline: none; + border-color: $color-primary; + box-shadow: 0 0 0 3px rgba($color-primary, 0.25); +} + +// Button focus +.btn:focus { + outline: 2px solid $color-primary; + outline-offset: 2px; +} + +// Link focus +a:focus { + outline: 2px dashed $color-primary; + outline-offset: 2px; +} +``` + +**Testing:** Press Tab key - every interactive element should show clear visual focus. + +#### 3. Form Labels Not Properly Associated (HIGH) + +**Current Pattern:** + +```jsx + +``` + +**Issues:** + +- Label wraps entire container (good) +- But label text is in a separate div from input +- Screen readers may not correctly announce label + input relationship +- InfoIcon adds non-text content to label + +**Better Pattern:** + +```jsx +
    + + {placeholder && ( + + {placeholder} + + )} + + {error && ( + + {error} + + )} +
    +``` + +#### 4. Validation Errors Not Accessible (CRITICAL) + +**Current Implementation:** + +```javascript +// Uses setCustomValidity() and reportValidity() +element.setCustomValidity(message); +element.reportValidity(); + +// Then clears after 2 seconds +setTimeout(() => { + element.setCustomValidity(''); +}, 2000); +``` + +**Problems:** + +- Error disappears after 2 seconds (not enough time) +- Screen reader users may miss the announcement +- No persistent visual error indicator +- Error not associated with field via ARIA + +**WCAG Requirements:** + +- SC 3.3.1: Error Identification - Errors must be clearly identified +- SC 3.3.3: Error Suggestion - Provide suggestions when possible +- Errors must be programmatically associated with fields + +**Better Implementation:** + +```javascript +// Persistent error state +const [errors, setErrors] = useState({}); + +const showError = (fieldId, message) => { + setErrors(prev => ({ + ...prev, + [fieldId]: message + })); + + // Announce to screen readers + const errorRegion = document.getElementById('error-region'); + errorRegion.textContent = message; + + // Focus the field + document.getElementById(fieldId)?.focus(); +}; + +// In component +
    + + + {errors[id] && ( + + )} +
